Ready in under 15 minutes, this wholesome treat uses simple ingredients and an air fryer to minimize cleanup and maximize deliciousness, making it ideal for busy days or last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Peel and dice the apples into small pieces. In a bowl, toss them with brown sugar and cinnamon until all pieces are evenly coated, creating the warm fruity center.
  2. Cut and Fill the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut into squares or rectangles as desired. Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture onto each piece, leaving edges clear for sealing.
  3. Seal and Brush: Fold the pastry over the filling to make pockets. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Brush tops with beaten egg or milk to ensure a golden finish.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Place the filled pastries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the snacks cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to set and prevent burns before serving.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry chilled before use to ensure it puffs well.
  • Avoid overfilling the pastry to prevent leaks and mess.
  • Dice apples evenly for uniform cooking inside the pockets.
  • Arrange pastries in a single layer for even air circulation and crispness.
  • Check the snacks at 7 minutes to avoid overcooking as air fryer models vary.
